Comment: Very interesting pool. All due credit to the author and others who brought this up to GA status.

Improved to Good Article status by No Swan So Fine (talk). Nominated by Heythereimaguy (talk) at 12:36, 28 October 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Awaiting QPQ. Its interesting and the image is essential. It has lots of refs and the whole thing is long enough (its a GA). Its neutral balancing the cool engineering with the anger of critics. hook is long enough and its hooky. Earwig identifies a lot (47%) of copied text but these are nearly all short and credited quotations. I would have chosen one of these as the basis of a hook e.g. a jewel out of reach of nearly everyone, but there is not shortage of hook material here. Ping me when the QPQ is done.

@Victuallers: Please note that since I have less than 5 credits (see here), I am exempt from QPQ (see rule 5). Heythereimaguy (talk) 16:12, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Heythereimaguy:, I always thought it was the main author. VERY pleased newbies are exempt even if "only" nomming. Well done. Victuallers (talk) 20:57, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Open to the public?

It would be interesting to add to the article whether the pool is open to the public. 2A02:A45F:BF57:1:98D3:8F3A:93E5:65C8 (talk) 13:06, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
